A Fleeting Moment

Last Friday Denise and I arrived in Davis, WV just in time
to be greeted by significant rain. I was making Denise drive so I could
work on my motion abstracts when suddenly the sun pops out before it stopped
raining. Without missing a beat Denise proclaims there must be a rainbow
somewhere. I started looking around and sure enough there was one
behind us over the Canaan Valley Wildlife Management area. We quickly
turned in, jumped out, and started shooting.

From the time the sun popped out to the time the rainbow
disappeared was about 5 minutes. These moments are fleeting and knowing
our gear allowed us to jump out and start shooting. If you have to fumble
with your gear you just might miss some opportunities.
